You Don't Know Me (Punk Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 28: Runaway

*LUKE'S POV*

"Get out of my house. I never want see you around here again" Lacey's father yells at me. "I never want to see you around my daughter again. You better stay away from her, or I'll kill you. And I mean it." He is so furious. He comes to me and literally drags me out of his house. "Dad! No!" I hear Lacey scream, but he's not listening to her. "Dad, leave him alone!" she's not giving up, but it's not helping. He throws me out of the front door "like I said, I never want to see you around. Actually, I never want to see you again! Do you understand?" he asks and I nod. I know he means those words. He really does. But I won't give up on Lacey. Never.

*LACEY'S POV*

After my dad throws Luke out of the house and his parents leave, I want to go upstairs and close myself in my room and never ever leave it again. I'm going out of the living room "wait young lady!" I hear my dad. "Where do you think you're going?" he asks and I just shrug. "What the hell were you thinking? This boy is not for you. I didn't raise you like this." After this I can't hold the anger in me anymore. "You never cared about me. You just think about yourself and what other people will think. You never care about if I'm happy or what I want. I said yes to him because I love him and he loves me. But I guess you will never understand that" I'm yelling at him. "Lacey" my mum tries to calm me down. I just twitch my hand from her, "yeah, we love each other and that's what matters. You don't know him. You just judge what you see. All of you. And you dad, you're nothing less and nothing more than a cold-hearted prick" I keep shouting at him. "Enough!" he yells at me. He never did it before. "Lacey Cecelia White. Now give me that stupid ring and go to your room. You're grounded!" he says and I feel the tears streaming down my face. I pull off the ring from my finger and I throw it at him. Like literally. And run upstairs to my room. I slam the door behind me ad press myself against them. I skin down to the floor and cry my heart out.

I open my eyes. I'm lying at the ground in a dark. I guess it's night already. I stand up and sit down on my bed. I look at the table and my eyes stop at the photo in the frame. The photo shows me and Luke kissing at the beach in sunset. I will never forget this day. Then I got an idea. I open my wardrobe and pick a bag from it. I'm looking at it for a few minutes, thinking about if what I'll do it's right. I'm 18. No one will tell me what I should or shouldn't do anymore. I know what I wants. It's my life. I throw the bag at the bed and start to pack some clothes in it. After 15 minutes I've got packed everything what I'll probably need. I slowly and silently open the door and look around. The other doors are closed. I walk out of my room and close them behind me. I quietly and carefully walk downstairs. When I reach my hand for the door handle, I turn around for one last time and saying quiet goodbye to the house. After this I walk out of the house to meet the night.

*LUKE'S POV*

I wake up to the sound of a ringing phone. "What the fuck? If someone's not dying, I'll kill that person" I mumble for myself. I spot Lacey's name on it. Why would she call me in the middle of the night? "Hey, what's wrong?" I ask when I pick up the phone with the husky voice. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up" she starts to apologize, but I cut her off "no, Lacey, don't be stupid. You probably have the reason for it. What's wrong?" I can hear her sigh. "I need you to pick me up" she says so quietly that I can barely hear her. "Wait, what?" I almost shout, but I control myself, because I don't want to wake up the rest of the house. I sit on my bed immediately. "Lacey, just don't tell me you did something stupid. Like run away or anything else."

*LACEY'S POV*

"Lacey, just don't tell me you did something stupid. Like run away or anything else." Luke says nervously. "Fine, I won't" I say and end the call. If he doesn't want to help, then fine. Seems like he's just too scared of my dad. I don't care. I start walking somewhere. I don't know where exactly, but somewhere. After 25 minutes I find myself at the train station. I look at the board with trains. The first one leaves in 10 minutes. I buy my ticket on it and go to the platform. When the train arrives, I get on it. It starts to move. I find a free seat and lean my head against the window. I look at the city behind the window. The city I used to know. The city which doesn't want me anymore. The destiny is against me.

I wake up few hours later. Well, it's not few. I don't have any idea where am I, but in few seconds the voice announces the next station. I look at my ticket and realize I have to get off of the train. When the train stops, I get off of it and make my way through the station. I walk outside the building to the unknown place. I heard about this city, but I've never been there before. I don't know where to go. So I just start to walk to the right side where most of the people are heading. I stop walking and walks into a coffee shop, because their display window says free wi-fi and that's what I need right now. I have to find some place where I can stay. I need some hostel. So I search for the hostels in the city. I also find a number for a taxi, and when I pull the phone out of my bag, there's hundreds of missed calls and messages. They're from dad, mum, Luke, Matt, Lola, Mindy, Shana, Jade and even from Calum. "Pfff" I say quietly for myself. I call the taxi and in 40 minutes I'm right in front of the hostel I chose.
